Time restriction on 76/Phillips 66 shops

I imagine most of you have already seen this, but thought I'd mention in case someone overlooked it. The Phillips 66 / 76 / [whatever the other brand is] visits have a much more limited time frame in June. They can only be done from 9:15am to 2:45pm. There isn't any change to the qualifying questionnaire so I think the change could easily be missed.

I noticed the time change but, it works out good for me. I grabbed the ones in less desirable neighborhoods and prefer to get them as early as possible.

I like this time change as I work third shift so that time is just fine for me to pick up a shop or two as I wake up in the afternoon. I like it as it keeps the people that usually work dayshift and do them on their way home away from them. I am hoping that they nicely bonus due to everyone else is working then!

Shopping across Indiana but mostly around Indianapolis.

I was hoping so too, but they seem to have flown off the board just as fast in my neck of the woods. Maybe some more will pop up with bonuses when people do them during the wrong time or notice the time and have to cancel.

The time change was the first thing I noticed. I thought maybe they had changed back to an audit, but alas, no such luck. I will continue to let these sit on the board until they bring back the audits. I don't consider the mystery shop version to be a profitable time to $$ ratio. BTW, the other company is Conoco.

I think there is a limit to the number of shops you can schedule. I know when I hit 9 the rest of them changed to revealed audits.

I haven't seen any of their audits around here for more than a year. All they have had since April of last year have been mystery shops, and they are not worth the time for the job fee.

I did quite a few audits last month. Sadly, they had the two gallon minimum purchase, so I was limited to the number I could do. I think I saw one this month, too.

Plenty here

I see lots of the mystery shops but no more of the audits. Hate the audits but like the mystery shop. They usually allow me to schedule about 7 or 8 of them and then they disappear.

I carry a gas can in the trunk of both my cars.

I did notice the time restrictions added to these shops, and I also noticed that they had to be done on weekdays, which changed up my route dates. My limit is 5 shops on the mystery shop side - I have never done the P66/Conoco audits before. Near the end of their deadline, they will allow me to select beyond my limit of 5. I was thinking that maybe they want to ensure that the shops are done in the daylight, but I have no clue.

I also noticed the restrictions but the times did not work for me. I just did an Audit on Wednesday. Daylight can't be the issue because it does not get dark prior to 7:30 or so now. Also they are very specific about you making sure they are done to get pictures during the day.

I am waiting for the next exciting opportunity!

In my area there's inevitably someone at the station who needs a couple of gallons of gas!
